Indian Creek Campground

Indian Creek Campground offers a remote desert oasis experience on the shores of Lake Owyhee, combining rugged beauty with basic amenities for adventurous campers seeking solitude.

This campground provides a true escape into Oregon's high desert landscape, with dramatic volcanic rock formations and expansive reservoir views. Sites are rustic yet functional, featuring picnic tables and fire rings. The campground's layout affords decent privacy between sites, though shade is limited in this arid environment.

Located in eastern Oregon, Indian Creek Campground sits along the western shore of Lake Owyhee, about 27 miles southwest of Nyssa. The surrounding area is characterized by steep canyon walls, sagebrush-covered hills, and the winding Owyhee River. Boating and fishing are popular activities on the 53-mile long reservoir, with opportunities to catch bass, crappie, and catfish. Hiking trails in the vicinity offer chances to spot wildlife like bighorn sheep, golden eagles, and pronghorn antelope.

This destination appeals to those seeking extended vacations in a less-traveled corner of Oregon, where connection to nature takes precedence over modern conveniences. The campground's isolated setting and lack of cell service create an atmosphere of genuine disconnection from the outside world.
